Cory Luebke has started 25 games in his young career, currently put on hold as the left-handed pitcher makes his way back from Tommy John surgery. If healthy, he likely would be the Padres’ No. 1 starter.

That’s the extent of it. While a healthy Luebke would work at the top of the rotation, of the Padres’ 11 first-round draft picks since 2003, none is presently starting anywhere in the majors.

Compare that to the rest of the National League West.

Within the past decade, the San Francisco Giants have selected three first-rounders — Tim Lincecum, Madison Bumgarner and Buster Posey — who have become star contributors on their championship roster.

A.J. Pollock starts in the outfield for the Arizona Diamondbacks, whose recent first-round history also includes Stephen Drew, Justin Upton, Max Scherzer and Jarrod Parker. Those players are all starting, albeit for other teams.

The Los Angeles Dodgers drafted Clayton Kershaw, currently the game’s top left-hander, in 2006. Three years earlier, their first-round selection was Chad Billingsley, who, like Luebke, would be part of the rotation if not for Tommy John surgery.

The Colorado Rockies reeled in Troy Tulowitzki in 2005.

To be fair, the Padres do trot out a hefty pinch of homegrown talent. Though none of them were taken in the first round, Chase Headley, Nick Hundley and Jedd Gyorko are all starting.

But as the June draft nears, memories of failed early selections are fresh once again. Nearly nine years ago, the Padres pursued the hometown discount, passing on Justin Verlander for Mission Bay High’s Matt Bush, perhaps the worst No. 1 overall pick in any sport. None of the first-round picks since have accomplished much more, including 2008 draftee Allan Dykstra, now floundering in the Mets organization, and 2009 prize Donavan Tate, who may well approach Bush in unrealized potential.

Not since Khalil Greene in 2002 has a Padres first-rounder stuck with the big-league team for more than one full season. (Tim Stauffer, selected in 2003, was the Opening Day starter and a rotation mainstay in 2011, but has otherwise struggled with injuries. Friday, the Padres selected the right-hander from Triple-A Tucson to work out of the bullpen.)

The first-rounders of the last two drafts — left-handed pitcher Max Fried (2012), third baseman Cory Spangenberg (2011) and right-hander Joe Ross (2011) — have shown promise but are at least a couple of years away from reaching the majors, let alone cracking starter status.

All of which leaves a hand-wringing fan base to point to the drafting success of the rest of the division and further lament the Padres’ lack thereof.

The Padres’ current draft guru doesn’t concern himself with those comparisons.

“I try not to spend a lot of my time evaluating other teams,” said Chad MacDonald, vice president/assistant general manager of player personnel. “I try to focus on making our team a championship team.
